Our family of 5 have just returned from France, spending 2 weeks in a stunningly beautiful part of the country, Théoule-sur-Mer, in Villa Angelique. Despite a 4 hour delay on the autoroutes we were given a very warm welcome by Isabelle and her husband. The Villa was everything we hoped for, secluded, clean & welcoming and we could start our relaxation within 10 minutes of arriving. Lazy days by the pool, afternoon visits to the beach and relaxing evenings cooking on the plancha with the odd glass or 2 of local wine. The Villa is incredibly well equipped and despite no air conditioning the super fans in each of the bedrooms did the job just fine. The downstairs bedroom and fabulous en-suite is not internally linked to the upstairs but that wasn’t a problem as our 19 year old enjoyed the independence. The views from every part of the Villa, both day and night are breath-taking. The pool was superb, clean and warmed by the sun. In fact my son spent more time in the pool than out of it. There are 4 luxurious sun beds, 3 lounging chairs and a fabulous large table for outside dining.Be warned due to the fabulous greenery around the Villa there are midges and mosquitoes in the evening- we did go prepared with mosquito coils and the Villa provided plug in devices for the rooms. But a small price to pay for the peace and quiet. We shopped at the supermarket in Théoule about a 15 minute drive as the local shop was very expensive. There are bars and restaurants within a 5 minute walk but we preferred to cook at the Villa. We did try the pizza van after a day in Monaco (we took a train from the Les Trayas local station) and they were delicious.
All in all a 1st class Villa and a 1st class location which meant a 1st class holiday. We really didn’t want to leave.
